We have been quietly building a new morning email, and it is now ready. It is called Dayboro Today, it lands at 6am, and the idea is simple: one short email with everything a Dayboro morning actually needs, before you leave the house. Not a generic feed pulled from some capital city service. Every number in it comes from our own weather station here in town and from the Dayboro Model forecast we run ourselves.
Here is what today’s one looked like:
What is in it, top to bottom
Your morning in one paragraph
The email greets you by name and then gives you the morning in plain words. On a day like today that paragraph does the heavy lifting: crossings shut at Kobble Creek, Lees Crossing and Young’s, so factor that into the school run. It also tells you where the temperature sits right now against the October average, the humidity, and how much rain is already in the gauge. If you read nothing else, that paragraph is enough.
Weather today
The high, the low, the rain chance with the expected amount, the UV rating and the wind. All of it from the Dayboro Model, which we tune against our own station data, not from a forecast grid that thinks Dayboro is a suburb of Brisbane. One tap takes you to the full 7 day forecast if you are planning further out, say for in the weekend.
Roads and warnings
This is the section we reckon matters most. Each creek crossing is listed with its current state, straight from the gauges and the council closure feed: Kobble Creek at Mt Samson Road, North Pine River at Lees Crossing, Youngs Crossing. Below that come the council road closures for flooding, like Glover Road this morning. We say it in the email and we will say it here too: gauge heights are river readings, not measurements on the road, and you never drive through water.
On today
What is on in and around town today, with times. Today that was Meals at the Dayboro Bowls Club at 17:45. Small section, but it has saved more than one of us from hearing about something good the day after.
Today in Dayboro’s past
A line of local weather history for the date. Today’s: the warmest 23 October on record was only recently, 36 degrees in 2023. It is a small thing, but it puts the morning in context, and our station records now go back 18 years.
Yesterday
A short recap of what actually happened, checked against the averages. Yesterday earned its place: 228.6 mm of rain made it the wettest 22 October in 18 years of station records, against an average of 28.4 mm for the date. When yesterday breaks a record, this is where you find out.
